Topic: 38-2016: Call for Participation - Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues Policy Development Process (PDP) Implementation Review Team (IRT)

Originator: ICANN Global Domains Division (GDD)

Summary of request:

On 9 August 2016, the ICANN Board of Directors adopted (https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2016-08-09-en#2.e)[icann.org] the recommendations of the Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues Policy Development Process (PDP) Working Group as listed in its Final Report [http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/raa/ppsai-final-07dec15-en.pdf]. Staff from the Global Domains Division (GDD)—responsible for leading the implementation of the policy recommendations—is hereby issuing a call for volunteers to form an Implementation Review Team (IRT) to work with staff to implement the policy recommendations adopted by the Board.

The Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) is the contract that governs the relationship between ICANN and its accredited (gTLD) registrars. The Final Recommendations of the Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues PDP Working Group, which GDD is now preparing to implement, are the consensus outcomes of that PDP. Once implemented, this Privacy and Proxy Services accreditation program will supersede requirements in the 2013 RAA's Specification on Privacy and Proxy Registrations[icann.org].
